HIGHCONCEPT: DEADLYGHOSTINFILTRATOR

Compel: No one wants to be around Cohen because he just radiates the willingness to kill anyone and anything at the drop of a hat.

TROUBLE: FORMERBLUESUN

Invoke: Some Blue Suns were sympathetic to the boss whose coup failed and will know or remember him favorably for his work there. The Blue Sun name also commands a certain dark glamor or respect in some circles.

Compel: Many Blue Suns either actively hunt him or simply will kill him on learning his identity. Blue Suns are not looked on favorably by many people, including the Alliance, so he may be distrusted.

BACKGROUND: BORNOMEGAN

Invoke: For doing things of a criminal nature or driving vehicles.

Compel: To get territorial or to be compelled to violence. To do an illegal act.

ASPECT: NEVERLETSHISGUARDDOWN

Invoke: He is always aware of his surroundings and is almost impossible to ambush.

Compel: It is hard to get him to open up or be vulnerable to anyone in any way.

ASPECT: RESPECT IS EARNED

Invoke: Cohen has a reputation as a soldier in the Marines that many respect. Especially if they know what is good for them.

Compel: Once someone has earned his respect he will go the wall for them. This includes most (though not all) of his squad mates. Clark in particular has his Respect.

ASPECT: NO STRANGER TO PAIN

Invoke: To get past pain and to strengthen his resolve.

Compel: He has endured so much pain that he has little empathy for others who are experiencing it.

ASPECT: STONECOLDKILLER

Invoke: For killing. For being almost impossible to read and for intimidation.

Compel: His capacity for violence is apparent which scares the crap out of almost everyone.

CLOAK -1

As a supplementary action you can deplete your shield’s charge in order to become effectively invisible, granting you a +4 bonus to Stealth checks—if the GM even rules that you need to make them—and causing enemies to suffer a –2 penalty to any melee attack rolls against you and -4 to any ranged weapon attacks. This effect lasts for the rest of the scene out of combat or for a number of rounds equal to the Shifts generated by a Systems skill roll in combat with a minimum of 1 round. Or until the cloaked character makes an attack of any kind or uses any Biotic or Tech Talents. Kinetic Shields offer no protection while a Tactical Cloak is up and must be recharged by taking cover after the cloak ends as normal for shields.

Receives a bonus of +2 damage with sniper rifle if cloaked when attacking.

Bio:

His mother, a red sand addict in the slums of Omega, died when he was six years old, leaving him to raise himself. He made his way on Omega by a combination of burglary and begging until his early teens, when he made his first kill. It was a Blood Pack vorcha that pursued him back into Gozu. It hadn’t appreciated having its pistol stolen right out of its holster, but its anger was shortlived. A Blue Sun Legionairre just happened to enter the corridor when Cohen’s single, lucky shot took the vorcha down, and Cohen was recruited on the spot. His light fingers and increasing apathy to the suffering of others made him a quick success in the lower ranks; his aptitudes for sneaking and hacking served him well when his boss’s failed coup found his peers being murdered in their beds. He stowed away aboard an asari vessel bound for the Citadel and escaped Blue Sun’s notice.

He was on the Citadel for all of a week when he tried to rob a wealthy, soft-looking human mark in a quiet alley outside Chora’s Den. He found himself disarmed and his trachea crushed before he knew what had happened; apparently, the N7 on the mark’s jacket meant something he should’ve known. After being hauled to an Alliance hospital and treated, he was offered two options: he could enlist, or he could go to an Alliance prison.

Relevant undecided details: If Cohen’s had a name change to protect his identity, if he has visible blue sun tattoos, what the boss who failed at a coup’s name was, if any of that ties in with the larger ME universe faces
